Forgive Me Father For I Have Sinned....
07.27.04 (2:04 am)   [edit]
Ok. I admit it, asking you to answer the question in that last post did border on cruel and unusual punishment... and believe me, you have my deepest and most sincere apologies. Although, I must admit that I did rather enjoy watching some of you squirm ~ just as I enjoyed reading your answers. Even though some of you hedged your bets a bit by trying to sneak in an extra title or two, all in all, as I said before, I think these responses speak volumes about those of you who were brave enough to take the bait:

Our favorite Brazilian reader Macki offered the following in regard to his choices: “The Style Council [and] the second would be either Pato Fu Mmtv Ao Vivo, a excellent brazilian band, or [u]Treasure[/u], from the Cocteau Twins(it would really depend on the moment i would be, right now i guess it would be cocteau twins).”





[url=http://aWindow.tblog.com]aWindow[/url] seemed to have no problem picking his/her choices: “very easy to answer i think..... Cat Stevens [u]Greatest Hits [/u][and] [u]Deep Forest [/u][by] Deep Forest.” Personal Note: Watch out, aWindow, according to jenxer Cat Stevens and I are “synonymous.” :)






Olygirl71 beat around the bush a bit, but finally came up with: “Jimmy Buffett, cause who can't help but feel better when [i]Margaritaville [/i]is playing...and, even though I don't own this disk, I would keep it anyhow because it reminds me of a true friend from HS days and beyond named JJ...Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers.” Personal Note: Now I know what to get you for Christmas. :)




[url=http://dragonbait22.tblog.com...]Dragonbait22[/url] , after overcoming her initial disappointment upon finding out that I had outlawed the use of homemade “mix CDs,” found yet another loophole in the system by choosing titles that were comprised of multiple CDs. She’s a sneaky one alright! “I will go with Smashing Pumpkins- [u]Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness[/u], and Nine Inch Nails- [u]Pretty Hate Machine.” [/u]Very telling choices, indeed.








Former tblogger and proud papa to be [url=http://www.mblog.com/the_llun...]Lloyd[/url] decided to copy Dragonbait22’s tactics: “I would have to say Indigo Girls' double CD: [u]1200 Curfews[/u] (Live) as my first pick. Second pick is a bit tougher, but I'll say [u]Road Apples[/u] by the Tragically Hip.”





[url=http://chicalookate.tblog.com...]Chicalookate [/url] protested a bit, but finally made the following choices (which I have to admit, are quite good!) “Peter Gabriel's [u]Passion[/u] and Tori Amos's [u]Little Earthquakes.”[/u]






After calling me a sadist, [url=http://shespecies.tblog.com]Shespecies[/url] narrowed her choices down to: “I'm going with [u]Karma [/u]by Delirium and [u]Slow To Burn[/u] by Vanessa Daou.” No word yet on whether or not her “insides” have recovered.







[url=http://darkmood.tblog.com]Darkmood [/url] definitely wins the award for most creative answer. After pondering the relative value of data CDs versus audio, he finally settled on “Twisted Sisters - [u]Stay Hungry[/u] [and] KISS –[u] Revenge[/u].”








It seems that [url=http://blondebondgirl.tblog.c...]Blondebondgirl[/url] had a hard time choosing too, but eventually decided that “[u]More B.S[/u]. by Bree Sharp and [u]Its All In Your Head [/u][by] Eve 6” were the right choices for her because “those are the 2 cd's that shed my soul.”







Not unlike myself, Jenxer changed her mind several times before deciding on “Bauhaus- [u]Flatfields[/u], and Joni Mitchell - [u]Court and Spark.[/u]” Again, excellent choices.






Other choices include [url=http://Mzmzchelle.tblog.com]Mzmzchelle[/url] who selected “Fleetwood Mac- [u]The Dance [/u][and] Marvin Gaye- [u]Greatest hits[/u]” As well as [url=http:brogonzo.tblog.com]Brogonzo[/url] who picked “[u]Recipe for Hate [/u]by Bad Religion and [u]Graceland[/u] by Paul Simon. (one of my personal faves, by the way).








And then there was, Mikellogg who had to think about it for a bit but then finally narrowed it down to "First:Dramarama, [u]Live at the China Beach Club[/u]. Can't do without it. [And] second: Space, [u]Spiders[/u] for the times I need a pick-me-up."






And finally, [url=http://almsthvn.tblog.com]almsthvn[/url] gets an honorable mention for being the only person to list a classical title as one of their choices, (although I’m still reeling a bit from the selection of Dvorak). However, in the end, he/she never actually narrowed it down to two choices, which I would say is cheating, if it weren’t for the fact that I am about to do the same thing.


As I stated in my initial post, this is a question that I myself am not certain that I could answer. However, as I began to read each of your responses to it, I decided that I should give it a shot. And I did. And then I changed my mind… and then I changed it again, and so on and so forth, until finally the entire thing felt like a shampoo commercial gone terribly, terribly wrong. First I chose [u]Befriended[/u] by The Innocence Mission and [u]No Secrets [/u]by Carly Simon because they both remind me of very special people and moments in my life. Then, I got to thinking that these choices were probably more alike than different, so I switched one out for[u] Led
Zeppelin III,[/u] but before I knew it, that got the boot and was replaced by The Arrogant’s first album [u]Your Simple Beauty[/u]. Soon other titles like Love Spirals Downward’s [u]Ardor[/u], Simon and Garfunkel’s [u]Bookends[/u], The Clash's[u] London Calling[/u], Depeche Mode’s [u]Violator [/u]and [u]Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me[/u] by The Cure were all in contention. But in the end, I bit the bullet and decided on REM’s [u]Document[/u] and [u]Umbrella[/u] by the Innocence Mission. Well…at least until I change my mind. :)

It's been over a week and I still can't decide :) But I narrowed it down to Dvorak and Queen, that should count for something... bag of M&Ms, perhaps? ;-)

At the risk of sounding geeky (Too late!) I do recommend that you all boogie down to your local library and check out a copy of Dvorak's New World Symphony. If you've never gotten into anything classical before, I think you'll like this. It's simply beautiful. You can picture movie scenes in your mind as it plays. One section I call Sunrise, another Wild West, another Riding the Rapids, and so on. Give it a listen!
